ENVI 360S - Ecowriting Since Silent Spring

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

In this course, we will read and discuss a selection of environmental writing since the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962), one of the landmark environmental books of the twentieth century. Much of our reading will be in the genres of poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction by multiethnic writers in North America. Along the way, we will examine the historical and political contexts in which these texts were produced while attending to diverse perspectives that inform our perceptions of environment-from the philosophical to the political and from scientific to poetic. Environmental writing is inherently interdisciplinary, so will be our questions and conversations throughout the semester.
